You have to admire that animal. He's got the right attitude.
That reminds me of the excellent Ambrose Bierce short story "My Favorite Murder." A ram is one of the central characters. Full text here, if you're interested in some good 19th century black humor. It starts a little slow, but picks up after the first couple of paragraphs.

brrrrr

Just the fact Ambrose Bierce literally vanished into thin air is creepy enough Smile

Goats are just like that with their little heads and those devil eyes. My neighbors down the road brought in 3 pygmy goats who roam free. One of them has taken to laying in the middle of the road and no vehicle will make him move. I have to go off roading just to leave my own driveway now.

Edit: Pygmies, not Billy's.

Just reverse over the ******...

Quoted from Doc Fury: "Concerned citizens: Doc seldom plays EVE on the weekends during spring and summer, so you will always be on your own for a couple days a week. Doc spends that time collecting kittens for the on-going sacrifices, engaging in reckless outdoor activities, and speaking in the 3rd person."

Reminds me of a scene in Patton where a column is stalled on a bridge and being strafed by a pair HE-111's. The general drives up in his jeep to the front of the column and there is an old man and a dozen soldiers trying to pull a pair of stubborn mules out of the way.

Patton flips and takes a moment to rant at everyone's stupidity before shooting the mules.

Bah! Goats are pussies!

Back in the late 70's I was in the British army, and crewing on Chieftain Tanks out in Germany.

During one exercise we were parking up for the night after a hard day pretending to be driving off the evil ‘Commies’. We had parked up on a forest trail. I was sorting things out in the turret and had sent my loader, with one of the guys off one of our troops other tanks, to go down the trail some and set up an OP (Observation Post).

Anyways, a couple of minutes later I hear the god damned loudest scream ever! I stuck my head out of the hatch, just in time to see my Loader running hell for leather, with the biggest ever wild boar chasing him.
Loader leaps onto the Chieftain, as a split second later the boar charged straight into the track and managed to rock 65 tons of tank back on its suspension!

Last time I saw that boar, it was staggering off back into the trees with a somewhat dazed expression, a definite stagger and a Tank track link impression between it’s eyes!

I was half expecting you to shoot the boar and dine like Asterix, or the gunner to panic and ... well....

Actually, the funniest part was, that the Loader was one of those 'gung oh! Once I get some stripes on my arm I am going to get guys killed just so as I can have some medals' type. We had just done a tour of Northern Ireland (without tanks I might add) and he had been a real pain in the ass. Came close to being taken behind the barracks for a ''special talking too' on a couple of occasions.

So, seeing him running and screaming like a 'lil gurlie' was a sight for sore eyes. Afterwards, whenever he started the 'Rambo' act the troop would all start making pig like squeeling noises, that would soon shut him up.
